Something is wrong with Kenley Jansen.
The 38-year-old right-handed reliever walked Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout on four pitches with two outs in the ninth inning, then signaled to Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch – removing himself from the game.
It happened Wednesday, May 27, in the second of three games against the Los Angeles Angels at Comerica Park.
ANOTHER INJURY: Casey Mize exits Tigers game with groin injury after four innings
Jansen walked off the field with assistant athletic trainer Chris McDonald.
Earlier in the ninth inning, Jansen felt discomfort at the end of his delivery – then threw a practice pitch in front of Hinch and McDonald before staying in the game.
Not long after, the injury forced him to leave the game.
The Tigers replaced Jansen with right-handed reliever Brenan Hanifee to complete the ninth inning, who got the final out to win, 4-0.
The specific injury is unknown.
